So my birfday is just a few days away and I've decided to give myself an mp3 player as a little gift as a sort of congratulations for how much of a pimp I am :p

I don't reallly want to spend more than $100 at the most after shipping and stupid CA sales tax. And I want to use it for running so it's gotta be solid state.

Any suggestions?

Screw Apple.

If it were a year ago, I'd recommend nothing but the iRiver H140. Since they don't make them anymore, I can't recommend anything. That was the best player ever. I had one but I lost it and I'm mega annoyed about that.

It's the same one I have (paid $120 for it, though, a couple months ago). Great little player, but I will admit the stock headphones suck. They're too big for my ears and fall out when I run...no, my ears are not "small" :p I resorted to an old pair that I had and fit fine.

get something expandable via SD/CF. i found that 512mb to be not enough. you'd have to swap out the music couple of times a week.

too late now!

But 512 should be fine. My last mp3 player was a 32mb Nomad II :Q (anyone remeber that emusic deal?) and I lived with that for 3 years.
